Revolutionary, for whom?
R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N-A-R-Y…
This word holds so many tears and broken bones.
Sometimes I wonder, if the revolutionary stride that
Was made by my ancestors, have made a difference?
As I see the roads filled with blood of fallen boys and tears of mothers
Fallen on the street floor.
R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N-A-R-Y…
The word is the voice of activist; they that are still fighting from up-above.
Trying to guide future legs to walk tall and proud.
To know that past leaders are watching them, hoping that
They can change the world more, than what is given.
The word, Revolutionary, should push us all to do better,
In this world of chaos.
I wonder, if Revolutionary was never invented, what
Would the world be like?
Would the world still have hate in their hearts?
And murder in their eyes?
Could the world even be peaceful without it?
These concerns become greater, as this world
Evolves every second.
Yet, I am still confused,
Is Revolutionary, meant to mend history?
Or is it meant to be broken?
Because as days go by
The revolutionary once fought for
From my ancestors
Is still not won.
Therefore, the revolutionary
Has just begun.
